We stayed at a grand bed and breakfast, in the Safari room. Sounds tacky, but it was beautifully decorated. But the best part was the elephants.

They were everywhere, but for the most part so subtle that you didn't see them all at once, and even then not unless you were looking for them. The gold knobs on the vanity and bathtub had a tiny parade of elephants marching around the edge of each knob. Underneath one of the bedside tables, the carved pedestal forked in three parts to support the granite table top.

Elephant trunks :)

And in the sitting room, which was decorated with old leather suitcases and soothing shades of burgundy, brown, and ochre, was a vintage travel poster with the most majestic bull elephant ever.

As you know, the Editorial Staff are notoriously fond of pachyderms....
